Excellent Attorney

We needed a family law attorney. Christine was recommended to us very highly by another prominent attorney in Spokane. Our situation was very difficult and emotional for us. Christine was the perfect fit. She knew all there was to know about the law and the legal system in Spokane. She was very ...concerned and compassionate. She returned calls, texts and/or emails almost immediately. Her legal assistant, Rachel, was excellent and very professional. When we were confused by the legal steps that had to be taken, Christine was understanding and explained things to us, in a way that we could understand, over and over again. We could not have asked for a better team to work with us and see us thru the whole process until the end. We felt that Christine was not only our attorney, but our friend. We highly recommend her.

  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
